@01:09thanks ever so much dude. Yeh, thought I would add my own annotations for things, make it like a directors commentary or easter egg thingy ^_^ I am glad you enjoyed the film though. I dunno what to call myself first, an animator cos i enjoy animating characters, or a film maker cos I really like coming up with the ideas. Hmph. ^_^

@01:24This was one of the most complicated scenes, simply because of the layers involved. The Polar bear was made up of about 8 layers, such as his back to show he was breathing, his body, his paw, his arm, his head, his mouth, his nose and his eyes.

Now on dA film, so you can stop and annotate, and tell me what you like, or any bits of advice. This version is better quality video, and a smaller file too

This is my first ever animated short film, created over the course of 5 months including all the preproduction time. This is completely handdrawn, traiditonal 2D animation, comprised of about 2,500 drawings done in the timespace of February to April. The film was nominated for 'Best 2D Animated Film' in my animation college's student awards.

Everything from storyboards, concept designs, backgrounds, animation, clean up, digital colouring and editting were all done by myself. The music was created by Hexaditidom, who is credited in the film.

This is better quality than my uploaded previous version, but if you like a more in depth look at how the film was made, go and read here [link]
